Question 2689

You are driving outside a built-up area on an insufficiently lit road with your high-beam headlights on. If there are pedestrians you might blind, what must you do?

  1. Nothing; the prohibition on blinding others applies to drivers of other vehicles, not pedestrians.
  2. Switch to low-beam headlights.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Switch to low-beam headlights.

Switch from high beams to low beams as soon as you could blind pedestrians. The obligation to avoid blinding others also protects them.
